I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

The next day.

It's just dawn.

Just as Jue Shao's Lin Yuan opened the gate, preparing to tidy up the yard, he suddenly heard shouts:
"Father Lin, Father Lin, something terrible has happened! Mother Mo's temple has collapsed."

Lin Yuan's expression changed drastically. She immediately dropped the broom and rushed out of the courtyard: "What did you say?"

"Mo Niang, Mo Niang's temple has collapsed," the visitor said breathlessly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yuan hurriedly ran towards the direction of the Niangma Temple.

When he got closer, he found that the area was already surrounded by villagers. Looking through the gaps in the crowd, he saw that the once magnificent and solemn temple was now a ruin.

"Lin Yuan, where is Mo Niang?"

Upon seeing him approaching from the crowd, Lu Zigui suddenly asked.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to Lin Yuan.

"She's not home. I thought she was at the temple."

Everyone was shocked.

Inside a temple?
Now that the temple has collapsed, then...

Thinking of this, a young man immediately said, "Sister Mo Niang, could it be...?"

"Impossible," Lu Zigui said decisively. "Mo Niang is a goddess-like figure; how could she possibly be suppressed below?"

"But what if she was attacked by some kind of demon or monster?" the young man said.

Lu Zigui: "..."

“Mo Niang isn’t down there, she’s here.”

Suddenly, a voice came from behind the crowd.

Everyone turned to look, only to see Lord Wu carrying Mo Niang's body, walking towards them step by step.

Lin Yuan rushed over immediately, her voice trembling as she asked, "Lord Wu, what happened to Mo Niang? What's wrong with her?"

Qin Yao said in a deep voice, "When I sensed that she was in danger and rushed to the sea, I found that she had already been murdered."

"Murder?!" Lin Yuan was shocked.

"It's a siren."

In the silence, a fisherman shouted, "Yesterday, several of our families returned late and were attacked by a sea monster. It was Mo Niang who lured the monster away and saved us. We thought she would defeat the monster as usual, but who would have thought..."

At this point, he knelt down with a thud and cried out, "Heaven is unjust!"

"This is unjust!" The others followed suit, kneeling down and crying out their grievances.

at the same time.

Guanyin slowly stepped into the Lingxiao Palace and bowed in front of all the gods, saying, "Greetings, Jade Emperor and Queen Mother."

"Why has the Bodhisattva come?" The Jade Emperor asked with a smile as he sat on his golden dragon throne.

"This humble monk wishes to invite Your Majesty and all the gods to witness this spectacle," Guanyin said.

"What kind of scene is this?" The Jade Emperor immediately asked, echoing the thoughts of all the gods.

Guanyin waved her hand, and the scene of Meizhou Island in the human world flashed in the celestial light.

At that moment, hearing those cries of injustice from Heaven, the Jade Emperor's smile froze, and he frowned, asking, "What has happened?"

Guanyin responded softly: "This is Meizhou Island in the human world. There is a girl named Lin Moniang who is kind-hearted and has a destiny to become a deity. She was taken in as a disciple by the Barefoot Immortal and carefully nurtured."

After achieving success in her spiritual practice, she began to continuously save fishermen, gradually accumulating immense popularity.

Unfortunately, not long ago, she was killed by thugs from the East China Sea while saving someone.

The Jade Emperor's expression immediately turned cold, and he ordered in a low voice, "Summon the Dragon King of the East Sea to an audience!"

Before long, when the imperial edict arrived at the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King was drinking and making merry with the other three Dragon Kings. Upon hearing the edict, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Brother, let us go with you."

"Yes, big brother, even if something happens, Long Duo's voice is always loud."

Looking at his enthusiastic brothers, the Dragon King of the East Sea took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Alright, then I'll trouble you brothers to come with me..."

After half a stick of incense.

The four Dragon Kings entered the Lingxiao Palace together and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty; Greetings, Your Majesty."

The Jade Emperor raised his hand: "No need for formalities, rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The four dragons thanked them in unison. After standing up, the Dragon King of the East Sea spoke first: "May I ask Your Majesty, what are your orders for summoning this humble god to Heaven so urgently?"

"Ao Guang, I ask you, who killed Lin Moniang?" the Jade Emperor coldly demanded.

Ao Guang's heart skipped a beat: "Lin Moniang is dead?"

When he summoned Yazi, he repeatedly instructed him to simply destroy the temple of the goddess. Unexpectedly, this fellow was so ruthless, as if he was being forced to protect him.

"There's no need to repeat this nonsense. I'll ask one last time: Who killed Lin Moniang?" the Jade Emperor said softly.

Ao Guang hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, I will go back and investigate thoroughly and will certainly give you an explanation."

"This explanation must be about sending out a scapegoat, right?" the Barefoot Immortal suddenly spoke up among the gods.

Ao Guang suddenly turned around: "Who is slandering me?"

"it's me."

The Barefoot Immortal remained unfazed: "As far as I know, in recent years, countless sea monsters have used natural disasters to harm people. As the Dragon King, you have turned a blind eye and done nothing. Otherwise, why would the people along the coast believe in Mo Niang?"

At this point, he immediately stepped forward, bowed, and pleaded: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I once again earnestly request that the Goddess of the Sea be granted a title, and Mo Niang is the only suitable candidate."

“Isn’t Lin Moniang dead?” Ao Guang said.

"I have used magic to freeze her soul. If she possesses the divine essence of the sea god, she can be brought back to life," Guanyin said.

Ao Guang snorted coldly: "Bodhisattvas are members of the Buddhist sect, why should they concern themselves with the affairs of the Heavenly Court?"

Guanyin smiled slightly: "No, I came precisely to respect the Heavenly Court; in other words, if the Heavenly Court does not establish Mo Niang as the sea goddess, I will return to the Buddhist realm and request the Buddha to establish Mo Niang as the Buddhist sea goddess."

"No!" The barefoot immortal, who had already rehearsed, quickly stopped him.

"Why not?" Guanyin said, "Your Heavenly Court doesn't establish a Sea God, but you don't allow my Buddhist sect to establish one?"

"Of course not," said the Dragon King of the East Sea. "Your Buddhist sect has no jurisdiction over the four seas, so how can you establish a sea god?"

"Is the Four Seas the same as the Four Seas in the human world?" Guanyin asked.

"Of course, it's the four seas of the human world." The Dragon King of the East Sea felt a tightness in his heart, a vague sense of foreboding creeping in.

"Then please listen to the voices of the people on earth." Guanyin waved her hand, and a beam of divine light illuminated the coastal scene. The gods all looked up and saw that the coastline was filled with densely packed people, who shouted in unison, "We beg the Jade Emperor to bestow upon Mo Niang the title of Sea Goddess!"

"A conspiracy! This is a premeditated conspiracy. Someone must be secretly orchestrating and manipulating it. Otherwise, given the selfishness of human nature, why would they care about the life or death of a stranger?" the Dragon King of the East Sea roared.

"You are wrong. There is selfishness in human nature, but there is also benevolence. Over the years, Mo Niang has saved countless lives and her reputation has spread far and wide. In the current situation, even if there are people conspiring together, it is the will of the people. I hope Your Majesty can see this clearly," said the Barefoot Immortal.

The Jade Emperor remained silent in thought.

Guanyin gazed at someone in the crowd, a slight smile involuntarily curving her lips.

At that time, in the bamboo forest, the other party showed her what it meant to be shrewd and infallible.

From the mindset and reactions of the Four Dragon Kings to the Jade Emperor, and then to the mindset and reactions of the gods, his predictions were absolutely accurate.

The mention of the Buddhist sea god, which I just brought up, was also mentioned by the other party. Its purpose was to solidify the Jade Emperor's determination to bestow the title, so as to avoid further delays.

Whether in terms of strategic planning or in understanding people's hearts, this reclusive immortal is among the best in the world.

If we can bring it under our control in the future, the Guanyin lineage will surely dominate all other lineages in Buddhism and prosper forever.

"What do you all think?" The Jade Emperor glanced at Guanyin, who stood alone, and gradually formed a preference in his heart. He asked in a loud voice.

"I think it's appropriate to grant the title."

"The will of the people is the will of the people, and the trend of the times is the will of the people. If I think it is appropriate to seal it, then it should be sealed."

The gods also figured out the Jade Emperor's thoughts and made their suggestions.

As the sound gradually faded, the Barefoot Immortal, following lines from a script someone had written, cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, along the coast, children all call Lin Moniang 'Niangma' (Mother). I believe that if Moniang can become the Sea Goddess and protect the fishermen for thousands of years, her divine title could be—Mazu!"

"No, absolutely not!" the four Dragon Kings cried out.

"Okay, stop arguing."

The Jade Emperor pressed down on his hand and made the decision: "Since Lin Moniang is the popular choice and all the gods except the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas agree that she is worthy of being named, then let us bestow upon Lin Moniang the title of Mazu. Barefoot Immortal, you will be in charge of guiding her to immortality."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," the Barefoot Immortal said excitedly.

half an hour.

The Barefoot Immortal descended to the mortal realm, landing above the ruins of the Niangma Temple on Meizhou Island. His divine light shone brightly, and a strange fragrance filled the air, immediately startling all the fishermen present.

"Greetings, Immortal."

The next moment, someone shouted, and all the fishermen knelt down like grass in the wind. In the end, only Qin Yao and Lin Yuan remained standing.

It's worth mentioning that Lin Yuan was originally going to kneel down, but Qin Yao held her arm with one hand, preventing her from doing so...

The Barefoot Immortal landed on a cloud, nodded slightly to Qin Yao in the crowd, then took out an imperial edict and shouted:
"Lin Moniang, a remarkable woman from Meizhou Island, dedicated her life to helping those in distress, braving storms and waves, and rescuing people from danger, moving heaven and earth."

Tragically, she perished while rescuing someone from danger. The Heavenly Emperor, in accordance with the people's will, bestowed upon Lin Moniang the title of Sea Goddess, with the honorific name of Mazu!

Upon hearing this, the people below smiled, and Qin Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing how difficult it was for Lin Mo Niang to be crowned the Sea Goddess in the original drama, he made more preparations, but he was not certain of victory.

Now that the imperial edict has been issued and the final verdict has been reached, my mission is ninety percent complete.

Comparatively speaking, helping Mazu establish the Water Palace Celestial Troupe was actually easier...

"Mazu, why don't you wake up and obey my command, and ascend to heaven with me to express your gratitude?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Barefoot Immortal suddenly dropped the imperial edict in his hand and spoke loudly.

As the imperial edict fell, it suddenly transformed into countless streams of light, frantically drilling into Lin Moniang's body.

Qin Yao used his immortal energy to slowly lift the other person up, suspending them in the air, and then unsealed their soul.

The moment the seal was broken, Lin Moniang slowly opened her eyes and said softly, "Mazu obeys."

"I'll see you off." Qin Yao stepped into the void and walked step by step to the other party's side.

Lin Moniang smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Wu."

Qin Yao waved his hand: "This is all your own destiny..."

"Let's go." The Barefoot Immortal turned and led the way.

Soon after, Qin Yao and Mazu followed the Barefoot Immortal and arrived at the Lingxiao Palace without any hindrance, where they bowed in worship.

The emperor, empress, and all the gods looked at Qin Yao with curiosity. The queen mother then asked, "Great Immortal, who is this man?"

The Barefoot Immortal replied, "Your Majesty, he was an important guide on Mazu's path to becoming a goddess. If it weren't for his wholehearted assistance, there would be no Mazu today."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, a smile on her face: "In that case, she deserves a reward."

Qin Yao stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "I do not seek any reward, but only ask the Emperor and Empress to uphold justice."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of the East Sea felt a sudden jolt in his heart and shouted, "Wu Zonglun, this is the Lingxiao Palace. Do not speak nonsense and disturb the peace."

Qin Yao said, "You're really getting senile."

Dragon King of the East Sea: "..."

"Do you really think your Dragon King Temple was vandalized by fishermen?" Just as the other three Dragon Kings were about to reprimand him, Qin Yao suddenly shouted.

In an instant, the three dragon kings looked at each other and fell silent.

The Dragon King of the East Sea frowned and said, "If it wasn't the fishermen who smashed it, then who did it?"

Qin Yao shook his head, and with a flick of his wrist, took out a bronze mirror, releasing a light screen that displayed a recorded scene.

The gods instinctively focused their gaze and saw the Dragon Prince Yazi, riding on black clouds, hovering in the air with two sea monsters, pointing at the temple below and saying, "You two, go down and smash this temple to pieces..."

Upon seeing this, the Dragon King of the East Sea trembled slightly. In disbelief, he immediately cried out, "It's fake! This must be fake!"

Qin Yao ignored his clamor and continued playing the secretly recorded footage.

As the only "prophet" in the world, how could he possibly give Yazi a chance to escape the law time and time again?
However, we weren't confident we could crush them all at once before, but now, with Mazu being conferred titles upon the gods, it's the perfect opportunity to settle scores!
After a short while, having quietly watched the video, the Jade Emperor asked in a deep voice, "Wu Zonglun, what exactly does this mean?"

Qin Yao spoke neither arrogantly nor humbly: "The Second Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace is tyrannical and reckless by nature. Because Mazu constantly helps fishermen, he hates her to the bone and has tried to intercept and kill her many times, but I have stopped him."

What's even more despicable is that, in order to gain the power of the Dragon King, he didn't hesitate to harm his own brother, Bi'an, but I stopped him from doing so as well.

His repeated failures drove him to madness, leading him to plot to kill someone else.

So he led his men to smash the Dragon King Temple and framed the fishermen, which made the Dragon King resent the fishermen and Mazu, and he summoned them back to smash Lin Moniang's temple.

After being intercepted by me again, he went completely mad, leading his troops to kill Lin Moniang, attempting to seize Ao Guang's throne through His Majesty's intervention and to control the East Sea by leveraging the power of Queen Zhen.

"Nonsense, impossible! Yazi wouldn't do such a thing!" the Dragon King of the South Sea roared.

Qin Yao smiled, turned around and said, "Whether or not, His Majesty can send someone to secretly capture Jia Ying and Jia You for interrogation and we'll know for sure. I don't think these two little demons would dare to lie in front of His Majesty and the gods."

"Erlang Shen, go to the East Sea and bring Jiaying and Jiayou back," the Jade Emperor immediately ordered.

The Dragon King of the East Sea, realizing the gravity of the situation, hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please allow this old dragon to go. If this is indeed the case, this old dragon will bring Yazi here and hand him over to Your Majesty for punishment!" (End of Chapter)
